  • The role of Bird Dogs

    John Zeman is the real deal. Minnesota bird dog owners should try to get to his Wednesday training sessions or at least watch his videos, they are something special!

  • The Episode We Didn’t Know We Needed! - Hunting Public Land in Kansas

    This episode really hit home. As someone who hunts public land in Nebraska, I can 100% relate to the struggle they talk about. I’m based out of Omaha, and like a lot of public-land guys, I’ll pick spots loaded with Open Fields and Waters and CRP on the map, only to show up and realize the cover looks like a pool table — lifeless, over-grazed, and poorly managed.

    I’ve had plenty of days where I’ll drive 3+ hours, hop between 15–20 different spots, and maybe two of them are actually huntable, som... more

    I love the podcast and there are so many great episodes, but the discussion and sharing crippling loss numbers is probably my all time favorite

  • How is it possible?!

    How is it even possible for a podcast supposedly focused on conservation and helping the resource going to put out an episode title “Indiana on the Rise”?!? Should’ve just named it “we are hot spotting hypocrites.”

    I don’t even understand how that’s a choice when planning your content. Unacceptable. The episode should be taken down and QF should send an apology for everyone that lives in and hunts in Indiana.

  • Audio

    Echoing what’s been said. Content is top notch. I’m a huge fan of all things QF and PF. The audio levels however, make it almost unlistenable. Can hardly hear calm portions but then ya’ll get excited abd blow my ear drums out. And not to point any fingers but BOB, your voice fluctuations are the worst 😂😂. Otherwise, keep it up.
